Thank you, John. You reach across the years, back to when I'd contributed to Kyoto Journal, to touch what I'd needed to hear in the here and now. Your words about seeing, accepting, creating.are a medicine for our wounded cultures. And for me in this moment. Once again, thank you for your presence in Art which we both share and serve.
I can attest to John's destiny to embrace this photographic mindset early on in his life. He was my college roommate freshmen year at ASU, Tempe AZ. Even during this period his camera was "attached to his hip" for capturing thought provoking images on campus and beyond.
